Chapter 365 Zhen's Request for Help
Shang Ji chatted with Zhang Yun for a while, getting into some feelings, and soon it was getting late. Because it was going out to fight, there was no welcome banquet or anything like that. Shang Ji simply appointed Zhang Yun as the captain, but he was a captain without soldiers.
After all, all the special arms are on this expedition, and the combat power of the special arms of the original owner will definitely drop. Shang Ji will first keep Zhang He by his side, and of course the staff or lieutenant will use it.
As for Zhang He's exclusive special unit, Hundred Battles Phantom Pawn, although powerful, he obviously doesn't have the time or the conditions to organize and practice at the moment, so we can only talk about it after the war is over.
After Zhang Yun settled down, he was already on the top of the tree, Shang Ji moved his body and returned to his big tent.
I just returned to the account and was about to take a break, but there was another notification that someone asked to see me.
"Who wants to see me"
Shang Ji had no choice but to get up again, and asked the guard who came forward to pass the message.
"My lord, here comes a man who claims to be from Wuji Zhen's family. His surname is Li and his name is Cai. He says he has an old relationship with my lord!"
"What is Li Cai doing here?" Shang Ji frowned upon hearing this. Of course he remembers Li Cai, after all, he still owes someone five million in loans, but it is impossible to go here to collect debts, right?
After thinking for a while, Shang Ji's heart moved, a treacherous smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "This Li Cai is really the God of Wealth!"
"Go, invite our God of Wealth to come in!"
Shang Ji calmed down, put on a passionate expression on his face, and said to the guards.
Although the guard looked puzzled, he faithfully carried out Shang Ji's order and hurried out to invite Li Cai in.
"General! General, help me!"
As soon as Li Cai came in, without saying a word, he fell to his knees with a plop, buried his head and shouted.
"Alas, shopkeeper Li, what's the matter? Get up quickly!" Shang Ji asked with a surprised expression on his face.
"Please be merciful, General, save our lives for the sake of our old friendship with Mrs. Zhen!" Li Cai continued to bow down without getting up.
Shang Ji knew it in his heart, and it could be regarded as confirming the guess in his heart.
"Shopkeeper Li is serious.
What's going on here, please tell shopkeeper Li when he gets up! "Speaking, Shang Ji helped Li Cai who was on the ground.
Li Cai got up and looked up, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of pleading.
Shang Ji was startled, this must be a big trouble for the Zhen family, otherwise Li Cai would not be in such a situation.
In the past, Li Cai's attitude towards Shang Ji was also quite humble, but this humility was a kind of polite humility. In his heart, Li Cai was still very proud or looked down on Shang Ji, a "warrior".
If it hadn't been forced, there was really no other way, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be so begging for business.
"What happened to your company, why did shopkeeper Li feel so sad?" Although Shang Ji already had some guesses in his mind, it was better to ask in person.
"General, please help the general!"
Li Cai bowed down and quickly introduced the ins and outs of the matter to Shang Ji.
The specific content is similar to what Shang Ji thought, and the culprit is still the Yellow Turban Army.
The Zhen family is located in Wuji County, which happens to be in Jizhou. Although it is not the Julu County with the strongest strength of the Yellow Turban Army, it is only a thin line away from Julu.
The Yellow Turban Army obviously would not turn a blind eye to a well-known wealthy businessman, and sent a fairly strong army to attack Wuji County.
However, Wuji County was not given in vain as the base camp of the Zhen family. With the strong strength of the Zhen family, the Yellow Turban Army would not be able to break through Wuji County for a while.
However, the Zhen family is nothing more than a chaebol in the final analysis. Although the background is profound and the relationship in the court is intricate, the actual combat power is not satisfactory. As for the relationship and power in the past, even Liu Hong is panicking now, those powers are useless.
Facing the crazy attack of the Yellow Turban Army, the Zhen family was also in a precarious situation for a while.
But now that Shang Ji is in the limelight, the titan with a brilliant record has naturally become Zhen's life-saving straw, which is why Li Cai asked for help.
"Please be merciful, General, save me and the common people!" Li Cai fell to his knees with a plop after finishing speaking.
"Oh, shopkeeper Li, please get up!" Shang Ji helped Li Cai up, and then he looked embarrassed: "I heard that it is extremely difficult, and I really wish I could go to the rescue with wings, but His Majesty has an order to order this general immediately. Go to Handan to support Duke Lu, I..."
"It's okay, we can ask His Majesty to give the general some time!" Before Shang Ji could finish speaking, Li Cai said first.
Shang Ji's face darkened immediately, and he secretly scolded Li Cai for his lack of vision.
In the past, Li Cai also understood the ways of the world, why is he so dull today, what I lack is that time? What I want is the reward, right?
It's no good, just relying on your few words, I will lead the army to the rescue, please, we are not so close, okay!
Seeing Shang Ji's unhappy face, Li Cai finally came to his senses, slapped his head, and hurriedly said: "The general has been working hard all the way, and led a hundred battles to wipe out traitors. I am deeply admired by Mrs. Wuji Zhen, and I have prepared a special gift. Think of it as serving the general!"
As he said that, Li Cai quickly took out a thick bundle of gold tickets, and the top one had "50,000" written on it, two big gold coins.
Half an inch of gold tickets, such a bunch, it is estimated that it will cost five million.
Shang Ji didn't answer, and gave Li Cai a faint look. It's only five million gold, and today's merchants really don't care much, let alone the huge sum of money left by He Lian before, the harvest in the past few days alone is almost that much.
If this is the sincerity of Mrs. Zhen asking for help, then please Mrs. Zhen die with hundreds of millions of wealth!
Li Cai is so shrewd, he knew what was going on just by looking at Shang Ji's expression, and quickly explained: "The general misunderstood, this is a little thought from the humble firm, and it can be regarded as condolences to the general for his bloody battle for the country. In any case, this mere gift is still worth it." General, please accept it. Oh, by the way, the general also borrowed five million gold, right? This money will also be waived, as long as the general leads the army to Wuji, I will be very grateful!"
Li Cai bit the word "thank you so much" very seriously, obviously implying to Shang Ji that this "thank you so much" is really heavy!
According to the standard of a meeting gift of 10 million yuan, this heavy thank you cannot be less than 50 million yuan, otherwise, wouldn't this be a slap in the face of Zhen Shi? Even this remuneration is likely to exceed 100 million yuan!
After listening to Li Cai's explanation, Shang Ji looked a little better, and reached out to take the golden ticket.
When Li Cai saw that Shang Ji had received the gift, he was immediately overjoyed. He was afraid that the chips would not be enough, so he quickly added: "As long as the general can lead the army to Wuji and wipe out the moth thief, my Zhen family can provide a loan of 300 million. Help the general develop Liaodong, and escort the general in the court."
"Shopkeeper Li is just joking. He is in charge of the Emperor's favor. How can he see the Yellow Turban thieves raging and remain indifferent? It's getting late today, and tomorrow morning I will discuss with all the soldiers about going to Wuji to expel the Yellow Turban!"
"General Hong En, my Zhen family will never forget it!" Li Cai was overjoyed, fell to his knees again, and shouted loudly.
Shang Ji just smiled, but didn't take his words to heart. It's okay to listen to such words, but it would be ridiculous if it was true.
